First Look for Charity to benefit 18 Chicago charities

CHICAGO, ILLINOIS – The Chicago Auto Show’s annual black-tie benevolent event, First Look for Charity, will benefit 18 deserving Chicago area charities on February 10, 2011. First Look gives attendees an elegant, inaugural preview of the Chicago Auto Show and treats ticket holders to a night of sophisticated entertainment.

Now in its 20th year, the black-tie affair will include hors d’oeuvres, champagne, wine, soft drinks and desserts. In 2011, First Look for Charity will also offer up the chance to win one of two new vehicles—a 2011 Hyundai Sonata and at 2011 Honda CR-Z.

The all-new Honda CR-Z sport hybrid introduces a sleek two-passenger coupe design with quick, sporty handling to the gasoline-electric hybrid segment. The completely redesigned Hyundai Sonata delivers best-in-class fuel economy and raises the bar when it comes to features and technology offered in midsize cars.

The CR-Z is compliments of American Honda Motor Company and the Sonata is compliments of Chicagoland and Northwest Indiana Hyundai Dealers. Vehicle winners must be present at time of drawings.
